Alain Graillot Zenata Syrah Syrocco Thalvin (2023)

Alain Graillot’s “Syrocco” is a 100% Syrah bottling made in collaboration with the Thalvin estate from vineyards in the Zenata area of Morocco; it’s farmed organically, vinified to emphasize Old‑World balance. While this is a fruit-forward Moroccan red, it is made in an OldWorld style with moderate extraction, excellent balance, and complex aromatics: plenty of ripe purple black fruits and dark confiture, with hints of sandalwood.
